- Start with a ladder, rubber or leather gloves, a  good scooping device (or you can use your hands) and a bucket. You should also have a hose handy to rinse gutters and check for leaks.

-Scrub moldy gutters with a stiff brush to remove standing mold/mildew that can lead to disease and affect air quality in and around your home.
